Urbanization: An Introduction to Urban Geography: Pearson New International Edition

Urbanization: An Introduction to Urban Geography captures the changes in the nature and outcomes of urbanisation processes for people, as well as the development of new ways of thinking about urban geography. Unraveling the interlocking processes of urbanisation, Knox and McCarthy present a vivid and meaningful explanation of constantly changing urban geographies and urban life. This framework supports the discussion of recent changes while addressing much of the traditional subject matter of urban geography.

The books dynamic approach also allows for integration of both theories and facts, where key concepts and theories are presented in relation to prior events and ideasproviding a coherent and comprehensive introduction to urban geography that is both a historical and process-oriented approach. With a U.S. focus that also offers global context and comparative international perspectives, the authors examine urban trends and their outcomes in both developed and less-developed countries to understand, analyse, and interpret the landscapes, economies, and communities of towns and cities around the world.
